The Democratic Republic of Soutione

“Strength Through Compliance”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Soutione is a colossal, pleasant nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 6.275 billion Soutioneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.4%.

The Soutionean economy, worth 250 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 39,952 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soutione's national animal is the swan.

Soutione is ranked 173,831^st in the world and 9^th in Raxulan Empire for Most Conservative, scoring 53.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
